Berber Design Specifications

Berber mats are produced using an inlay process, where colored material is cut and pieced together by hand before pressing into rubber. As a result, there are very strict design requirements for this product.

• Minimum Text Height: 2" (includes lower case text)
• Minimum Line Thickness: 1/4"
• Any space between letters or design elements must be at minimum 1/4"
• Gradients, tints, screens and transparencies are not supported and should not be used

Important Disclaimers:

Mat Sizes:

• Mats are not exact and have a 3-5% size variance in all finished sizes and is just part of the manufacturing process and materials
• We do not guarantee an exact match to the inch and on large orders mat sizes may vary within this range. For rough finished sizes, please reference each product page

Color Selections:

• Final colors tend to be a little lighter than what you see online because of the heat press which causes the colors to lighten
• If you are concerned about the color being dark enough for your background or any other color, please select the next darkest color

PMS Matching: 

Although we can get remarkably close, color is never an exact science and variations will occur. An absolute exact color match is vulnerable to many factors.

• One factor is that we are printing on white, nylon or other fabric carpets
• A hot press is used to combine the carpet and rubber backing and the heat from the press often causes the color to lighten
• How the fibers are laying, and your viewing position will often change the color slightly

Typically, we can get close to most PMS colors, but the final color may be a few shades off. For the PMS color to be as close as possible, we require additional time to create the proof sketch.
